HIGHLAND CREEK
Monochrome Soft Pastel, 22 x 30 inches
This pastel painting is of a creek that I have visited many times. This particular meandering part of the creek is one of my favourite sections as it offers many creative possibilities with the change in seasons and water levels. The creek is at the bottom of a ravine and traverses areas of uneven terrain. During periods of increased water flow, the force of the water can erode and wash away bends in the shoreline…trees and all. Learn more about this artwork.

“A man possessed of an idea, working like fury to hold his grip on it and to fix it on canvas may not stop to see just how he is doing the work; nor may he consider what might be any outsider’s opinion of it. He must hold his grip on the meaning he has caught from nature, and he cannot grope for ways of expression. His need is immediate. The idea is fleeting.” – Robert Henri (1865-1929)
